schools, time to meet becomes a problematic financial concern. Since teachers areguaranteed to have a conference or planning period in most school districts based uponcontractual requirements, schools have to find other times for teachers to meet together. The timefor PLCs to meet within the school day is optimum because when teachers meet before or afterschool, the timing often conflicts with personal obligations like dropping off or picking upchildren from school or professional obligations such as tutoring or coaching. If time is allottedduring the school day, distractions from the PLC goals and objectives are less likely to occur.However, many school districts struggle with a way to financially provide two periods off a dayfor each teacher

these results might prompt new thinking about undergraduateengineering education and environmental work. We consider how our findings can informteaching and learning for effective early career practice and future leadership. We proposeleadership modules in environmental engineering curricula that focus on not only the urgentenvironmental problem space, but gender and racial equality in the people space surrounding it.1.0 IntroductionUnderstanding the school-to-work pathways of engineering students—intentions and plans priorto graduation, destinations and experiences after graduation—is a critical component ofintegrated, effective educational practice.

Theoverarching goals for the project are to increase student preparation and retention in STEMdisciplines.We seek to meet these goals via a number of different thrusts (or categorized interventions),which were described in more detail in a previous paper [1]. Now, the project (funded by a five-year NSF-IUSE implementation grant, following an NSF WIDER planning grant) is in its no-cost extension year and we are positioned to do some reporting on project impacts, along withsharing some lessons learned.We will begin by reviewing the program thrusts and estimating the number of faculty, graduateassistants and/or students impacted, as appropriate.

, and the nature ofthe relationships between them [7]. Such problems are also situated and discipline specific [7],often requiring significant technical knowledge. In engineering design, problems are complexbecause variables commonly suggest an impractically large experimental space. For instance,consider a capstone design team trying to plan physical tests of a stent to determine conditionsunder which it would be effective. They might consider technical variables such as temperature,pressure, radial force, and particulate size. The number of possible variable combinations is toolarge to run every possible test, assuming each test takes 30 minutes. But beyond the technicalconsiderations are social factors. If a stent is to be used in a living

The use of workshops to distil the optimal strategies for successis well-documented particularly in terms of their long-term effectiveness in curriculum planning and design[3], [4].
